- 1. Hunka Hunka Burnin’ Love Elvis Week 2013 By Cheryl Michalek
- 2. The Event Elvis Week occurs every January in celebration of Elvis Presley’s birthday (January 8). The event is held at the Northern Lights Theater in the Potawatomi Casino located in the Menomonee Valley in Downtown Milwaukee. Many Elvis Tribute Artists (ETAs) come from all over the world to compete for a grand prize of $25,001, the largest cash prize in North America for this type of competition. Performers come from the United States, Canada, The UK, Australia and as far away as the Philipines. Some of the past performers in their costumes: (left to right) Robert, Bob, Matt, Cliff, Dean and John.
- 3. The Criteria The ETAs are judged on voice, costumes, performance, moves, and just overall embodiment of “The King of Rock and Roll.” They may choose any era of Elvis’ career to perform: 1950s Young Elvis 1960s Movie Years 1968 Comeback Special 1970s Concert Years Really versatile ETAs can easily slip from one era into another. Some other ETAs…not so much.
- 4. The Contest The ETAs compete for five days. Beginning with the “Roulette Round,” each contestant puts an Elvis song into a hat, and each blindly pulled a song from the hat. It was do or die for many ETAs, but it was not the end of the road. The ETAs have at least one chance per day to make it to the semi-finals each night. The winners of each day’s semi-finals goes on to the Finals at the Grand Finale at the end of the week. It is recorded that “Poke Salad Annie”, “Hurt”, and “Blue Suede Shoes” are the most popular songs performed. If you didn’t like “Poke Salad” before…you will now.

Returning fan favorites Joseph Hall and Matt Joyce were among the competitors. In the end, Matt Joyce took the Grand Champion Title…..and Elvis had left the building. TCB, Mama… The King’s Crown
